IS IT just me or does everyone wonder what "lying, backstabbing, bogan bitches" do when they retire?

Politics is a pretty brutal game, isn't it?

And being a pioneer can't be any fun at all. But Australia has ripped off the bandaid.

We've had our first female prime minister.

I don't think it was easy but as Julia Gillard rides off into the sunset I hope she's proud of herself.

And I hope the rest of us have a good hard look at ourselves.

As a radio announcer I have lost count of the number of people who have rung to tell me Julia Gillard is a disgrace to women; that they "hate" her.

Today I got an email claiming what "Ms Gillard has done is make it very difficult for another woman to be voted in as prime minister for decades as every woman from now on will be judged by her non-performance and found wanting".

No one ever rings me to say Kevin Rudd is an embarrassment to his gender or Tony Abbott has proved men can't do anything right.
